Recently we got a question from one of our users on how to embed a Tom's Planner Gantt chart in a page in Atlassians Confluence app. You can do this by adding an iFrame to a page, but it's not as smiple to do as we would like it to be. So here is a step by step guide:

You can embed a Tom's Planner chart on the page of a website, intranet or blog. This works the same as for example embedding a YouTube video on a webpage. To embed a chart open the 'my schedules' panel and select the chart you want to embed. Then you click on the ‘embed your schedule’ link in the right bottom part of the panel.

Today's blog post is here to bring you some tips on how to better get around your Gantt chart and make changes more efficiently. These tips are especially useful for those who work on their Gantt charts on a daily basis and want to work as efficiently as possible.

From now on you can easily copy periods & symbols by holding down the ctrl-key while dragging them to a new location in the grid.
This feature will help you save time & create and maintain projects even more efficiently!

You might have started your project by organizing your thoughts and dates in Google Calendar but are now ready for a more serious project schedule.
There is a very easy way to import your Google Calendar dates into Tom's Planner! It will save you a lot of time and give you a head start on your project!

A tip for users who want an easy way to archive their projects. When a project is finished, change the project name to 'zzzz - project name'. This way the project will be added to the end of your 'My Schedules' list and won't clutter your ongoing projects.

If you have set your project settings to a month, you will probably have noticed the month width is quite broad. If you want to schedule more than a year, it is possible you don't need al that space and might actually prefer a more narrow width.

WHAT IS TOM'S PLANNER?
